Nice work Neil. Is ivory hard to work with?

 

[wolftat]

Not really, it's harder to find.

Nice job Neil. Hey what do you sand your brass too, I think I am spending way to much time on mine. Polishing too 3500 MM.

After inserting the bullets I sand on the lathe with 400 abranet and then hit it with some 0000 steel wool and then put on a finish, it is pretty quick

Wow that is a big order, I just did 100 bullet pens to go up to Dawson City and that was enough for me for a while. Good on ya buddy.

I normally turn away orders that are large as I start to hate turning and I don't want that, but I tried to outprice myself from this one and got the contract anyways, so I will do it. Moneys not everything, but it sure does make it easier.

 

[Rfturner]

looks like you will be busy.

Nice job on the pens, By the way an even easier way to shine the brass is to use a one of the 3 piece buffer pads from Harbor Frieght mounted on the mandrel. then just buff it out really quick, I got to it down to about 30 sec. a casing for a nice polished off appearance.

I have had several people want to do a large order of about 100 pens, they backed out but I know that I would have started to hate it after that many.
